An Enduring Favorite of Knife Enthusiasts
Swiss army knives have always been synonymous with versatility and quality. Even in the late 19th century, when the knives were first introduced in Switzerland, their sturdy composition and reliability set them apart from the rest. These days, hunters, campers and average Joes wouldn’t think of leaving home without such a knife and the endless utility that comes along with it.
The American television show “MacGyver” featured a main character who fashioned elaborate contraptions out of the most basic materials. He would often use a Swiss army knife to get the job done. These dependable Victorinox knives are also highly regarded for the wide variety of tools they contain, including tweezers, scissors, bottle openers and other handy gadgets.
Becoming a Man
Nearly every culture has some sort of tradition for ushering their boys into manhood. For Native Americans this ritual often takes place in the form of a vision quest, while the Jewish people recognize the Bar Mitzvah. No matter what your cultural heritage, it is universally agreed that the initiation into manhood is a big step.
Although there is no steadfast methodology recognized in the US, there are some typical rites. For me, my leap into manhood was commemorated with a Christmas present from the traditional line of Victorinox Swiss Army knives. It seems like a boy’s first pocket knife is widely recognized as the welcome gift to adulthood in America.
